Multi-Departmental Vacancy & Cadre Transparency Tracker

To ensure radical institutional transparency, JanWatchdog maps sanctioned vs. working posts across all tiers of governance, uncovers affirmative action quota deficits (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD), tracks recruitment cycles (UPSC, SSC, RRB, NJDG, BPR&D), and estimates the salary budget held for unfilled posts.

Figures are compiled by hand from official publications (Department of Personnel and Training, BPR&D Data on Police Organisations, Department of Justice) and answers given in Parliament, and are updated when new figures are published. They are not a live feed. Salary float figures are estimates from vacancy counts and pay scales, not audited amounts.
